Configure the blob path in a load balanced environment

Fredrik von Werder

Vote:

blobs automatically placed in AppData folder, but how can I use a commen share in a load balanced environment?

Where do I change the path?

Since episerverframework and episerver config files are gone, I guess the configuration is in web.config... but here is only the AppData basePath="", I guess changing this would affect aother things..?

Please help :)

In EPiServerFramework.config, you should see this:

This can be shared in load-balancing environment.

You can specify the standard blob provider (FileBlobProvider) path liks this:

  <episerver.framework>
    <blob defaultProvider="fileShare">
      <providers>
        <add name="fileShare" path="\\dbserver\blobs" type="EPiServer.Framework.Blobs.FileBlobProvider, EPiServer.Framework" />
      </providers>
    </blob>

Tried that, but

<blob defaultProvider="fileShare">




is not valid ...(Unrecognized attribute 'defaultprovider')


And no, the EpiserverFramework file is gone... or should I make one just for this purpose?

It's the

<episerver.framework>

section which matters. You can change the AppData basePath in web.config.

Freguz,

The episerver.framework file has been moved into the web.config file, in a <episerver.framework> section. There you will also find <appData basePath>.

Example:

  <configuration>
    .... lots more settings
    <episerver.framework>
      <blob defaultProvider="fileShare">
        <providers>
          <add name="fileShare" path="\\dbserver\blobs" type="EPiServer.Framework.Blobs.FileBlobProvider, EPiServer.Framework" />
        </providers>
      </blob>
      <appData basePath="App_Data" />
      ... more settings
    </episerver.framework>
    ...
  </configuration>

And remember that config settings are case sensitive, so make sure you have a capital P in defaultProvider

Thanks all! It works fine now, and thanks Per it is case sensitive I had the lowercase p :-/

One thing you can do in a load balanced enviroment is to have for example DFS to sync your local AppData folder.
